Sorrow and gratitude in my heart as I just learned of Anders Eliassons passing into the next world.
Gratitude for his sublime music that has reached the innermost parts of my being.
I woke up this morning hearing his saxophone concerto playing in my inner ear.
Sorrow because I already miss his honesty and musical devotion.
Gratitude again because he invited me into his musical universe.
Trust that I will continue being a loyal ambassador for his music.
His music will remain a treasure for humanity.

Sincerely,

Anders Paulsson
